Volatile trading in quite news day – The VNI and HNI ended a volatile trading session nearly flat. Against a backdrop of a slump in global markets, the Vietnam market actually faired pretty well. The southern bourse closed slightly down at 487.62 while the northern bourse managed to edge up to 83.76. Investors decided to remain on the sidelines in a day that saw little in terms of macro news following the major policy changes we have seen in the last few weeks.
